DevilMayCare Jolene Ballard Gutierrez 9781461062455 Books

“Devil.May.Care” centers on Ana, a teenager who finds out she’s an angel, and her conflicted relationship with Dylan, a demon who may not be quite as demonic as he appears. Ana's charmingly guileless, and I found her eminently relatable. The book is told from her point of view, and the way the author delineates her thoughts and emotions is spot-on. Her best friend, Cheyenne, and her librarian/mentor, Gabrielle, are compellingly rendered; and when things get dark (and they do get dark) they prove to be people she can depend on.

The book is also peppered with humor throughout. I laughed aloud when Ana said, "OK, I always thought 'swooned was a stupid word...until I actually did it." The Colorado setting is so well-drawn that I feel I've been to these places myself (Feather Lake seems just around the corner).

The book glides along smoothly for the first two-thirds, and then really takes off in the last act. It was hard to put it down. So I didn’t.

In addition, the chapter epigraphs are illuminating, both for the light cast on the story and for their own sake. An example:

"A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it."
- Jean De La Fontaine

On that note, don't avoid reading this book. Buy it, read it. You’ll thank yourself for it.

Overall rating: 4.5/5 (A)

DevilMayCare Jolene Ballard Gutierrez 9781461062455 Books Reviews

This novel was impossible to put down. The main character, Ana, is the main draw to the novel. Ana is honest to a fault, refreshingly clear with regards to her intentions, and caring. She remains a constant throughout the novel.

As far as angel books go, this book offers an interesting new perspective. The author explains quite clearly and succinctly, the reader won't be confused or left wondering. The author incorporates the angels into the novel as characters, they aren't left to the readers' imagination and they are given distinct personalities. The main character has a guardian angel that isn't the love interest, a major difference as compared to many other angel books.

Dylan is the love interest, the most intriguing quality he has is that he can smell like chocolate! He is handsome, protective of Ana, and the perfect love interest for this novel. The secondary characters, particularly Gabriel, are very fun to meet.

This novel is perfect for young adult/teen readers...even adult readers. The book ends very well, the events are fast-paced, the book is hard to put down, and the characters are very well-developed.

*complimentary review copy provided, this does not affect my opinion in any way*
Who's good and who's evil? It's not as black and white as Ana once believed. Angels, demons, and mortals come together as Ana struggles with her new-found angel identity and resulting abilities. I loved the tension and love story between Ana and Dylan, the bad boy from hell (literally...). Devil.May.Care turns traditional views of angels and demons upside down.
This really wasn't my type of reading but decided to try it out. Once I got into it -I really decided it kept me coming back to read more. So it does keep your interst & is intruiging. Made for a good read.

This was an AMAZING and ASTONISHING book. My dad told me to read because he knew the author and I did so reluctantly. Now that I have read it I am hooked, one of the best books EVER!!!!!! I am in love with it.
This was a great first effort by this librarian - turned writer. I want to know what comes next in the story and hope she writes more soon. This was a nice twist on a genre that is bursting at the seams.
I really enjoyed this novel. The characters were believable. I like the authors twist on good and evil. I recommend this novel if you like the good vs. evil tone.
If you thought Romeo and Juliet had issues, you haven't met Ana and Dylan. Both are on opposite sides of the mother of all family feuds. A feud that has raged from the earliest days of man.

Ana, you see, is an angel and her boo is a demon.

Try explaining that one to your pastor!

Ana meets Dylan in detention after school one day and finds herself obsessing about him. But when Ana discovers she's an angel and that her new crush is a demon, she knows things aren't going to get much easier. The other angels at her school warn her to stop seeing him. Dylan's demon buddies threaten her. About the only person who doesn't seem ready to kill her for dating a demon is her best friend, Cheyenne.

And that's before things really get hairy.

The premise of this novel drew me in. The complexity of the characters kept me reading. At first glance, it might be easy to think that anything involving angels and demons will be a pretty cut-n-dry affair. After all, angels are good, demons are bad, right? I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. In Ana's universe, everyone makes mistakes, even angels. Toss in a murder mystery and angels with a superiority complex and you've got yourself a great page-turner.

I wish I had an angel for a best friend. I would totally make them play my favorite ABBA songs on the harp.
